Shoreditch is a built-up part of inner city London situated immediately to the north and located just two miles from Charing Cross. It is currently poorly supported by public transport due to the closure of its tube and railway stations, however the East London Tube Line extension will see Shoreditch High Street tube station open along the line in June 2010. This will link Shoreditch directly with Whitechapel, Wapping, Surrey Quays and New Cross. Buses currently operate within the local area and to these stations. Shoreditch has, in the last 10 years or so, been regenerated and therefore changed from a typical working class suburb into a popular and fashionable area with a predominant creative influence. It still has sections that are rife with urban decay and striptease venues but, for the most part, the area is known for its many pubs, clubs, art galleries and restaurants. The area has enjoyed a hike in property prices and many buildings have been converted in offices and flats.
